I think that would be a better idea... redirect those domains to a splash screen saying that the connection is for demo purposes only. Maybe allow something like Hulu to go through, so that you could show streaming speed (not YouTube, obviously), but keep the social networking sites blocked.
Also, I'd suggest posting a sign asking people to limit their time to 10 minutes since it's a demo, and require that children be accompanied by a parent or guardian. After all, you don't want them to discover that YOU are letting their precious snowflakes view adult content on the demo machines - that would be a business killer.
